One Thing After Another

This has been just a ridiculously annoying period lately!

My computer developed problems last week and so I bought a new one. The last few days have been filled with switching over data and setting up the new system. This morning I actually got things mostly in order so that's all good to go.

However, I went to jump in the shower and get my day going only to discover that our well pump seems to be on the fritz. So now I'm sitting around waiting for the well guy to call me back. All this PITA stuff on top of the other disruptions this year...it continues to be very frustrating!

Anyway, I will have some sales going later this week (G5 Roid Prybabies, G5 Flat Prybabies and more Longslides) so please bear with me for a few more days. Hopefully things will settle down and I can get some work done instead of chasing after all this other crap. Thanks!

Sorry to hear that Peter. Good luck with the pump, hopefully it's just a loose connection. Looking forward to the new Pry Babies. Been a while since I lost my last one in a rental car but I'm feeling lucky this time!

I agree with Matt. Hope it's just a loose connection. I grew up in the mountains with a well and we had to pull the pump once and it wasn't fun. We had to cut a hole in the roof of the well house. The only upside was that we were able to install a skylight. :-P

All fixed. It was a broken wire down near the pump so it only cost me $200 and 2 hours of my time today rather than $1100 for a new pump. And it's a warm day with no snow on the ground so all in all, wasn't too bad. :)

Peter,I am just learning of your tools...yet to be lucky enough to get one. However, I find it amazing that so many tools are patterned from your designs....even saw a tool from a very high end company this past weekend at the mall. Even more the reason to wait it out for an original. Glad to hear you got your pump fixed.Patiently waiting for next sell,-Rick

It should hold an edge just fine. However, these are Prybabies. If you wanted to grind an edge on one I suppose you could but at .070 thick they aren't going to be thin enough to provide good geometry. I would not bother. Besides, these have another feature which will make them somewhat unsuitable to make them into Pop n Chop type blades if that is what you are thinking.

I have been seeing Atwood items at a few sites since I lost my Schrade Prytool and after losing for a G3 on eBay I thought I would check the site out. Glad I lost that because now I want a G5. I'll be watching and thanks!
